About Aquarius action projects
Aquarius Action Projects: Helping Communities Overcome the Harms of Addiction
Aquarius is a Midlands-based charity that has been helping people and communities overcome the harms caused by alcohol, drugs, and gambling for over 40 years. With a focus on understanding the root causes of addiction, Aquarius provides a range of services to support individuals and families affected by substance misuse.
At Aquarius, we believe that everyone deserves the chance to live a healthy and fulfilling life. Unfortunately, addiction can be a major barrier to achieving this goal. Whether it's alcoholism, drug abuse or problem gambling, addiction can have devastating effects on individuals and their loved ones.
That's why we're committed to providing high-quality support services that help people overcome their addictions and rebuild their lives. Our team of experienced professionals includes counsellors, therapists, social workers and other specialists who work together to provide tailored support based on each individual's needs.
Our Services
We offer a wide range of services designed to meet the needs of people affected by substance misuse:
1. Counselling: Our counselling service provides one-to-one support for individuals struggling with addiction issues. We use evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) to help clients develop coping strategies and build resilience.
2. Group Support: We run regular group sessions where clients can share experiences with others in similar situations. These sessions are facilitated by trained professionals who provide guidance and support throughout.
3. Family Support: Addiction doesn't just affect individuals – it also impacts families and loved ones. That's why we offer family support services designed to help families cope with the challenges they face when dealing with addiction issues.
4. Outreach Services: We work closely with local communities across the Midlands region to raise awareness about substance misuse issues and provide information about our services.
5. Training & Education: We offer training courses for professionals working in health care settings or other related fields who want to develop their knowledge and skills in the area of addiction.
Our Approach
At Aquarius, we take a holistic approach to addiction treatment. We recognise that addiction is often linked to other issues such as mental health problems, poverty, and social isolation. That's why we work closely with other organisations and agencies to provide a comprehensive support network for our clients.
We also believe in empowering our clients by involving them in the decision-making process. We work collaboratively with each individual to develop a personalised support plan that takes into account their unique needs and circumstances.
Our Impact
Over the years, Aquarius has helped thousands of people overcome their addictions and rebuild their lives. Our services have been shown to be effective in reducing substance misuse, improving mental health outcomes, and enhancing overall quality of life.
But our impact goes beyond just helping individuals – we also work hard to create positive change at the community level. By raising awareness about substance misuse issues and providing information about our services, we're helping communities across the Midlands region become more resilient and better equipped to deal with addiction-related challenges.
